What this bill would do
This bill aims to establish specialized talent teams within Federal agencies to improve the hiring process for technology and artificial intelligence roles. These agency talent teams would provide support by improving examinations, writing job announcements, and facilitating hiring for the competitive service. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is authorized to create its own Federal talent team to support agencies through training and the creation of technology platforms. Additionally, the bill allows subject matter experts to develop and administer position-specific technical assessments. The legislation also establishes a framework for agencies to share and customize these technical assessments through an online platform.
